twiley Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 IMO, probably one of the juiciest turkeys you'll ever have if you prepare it correctly. I've never personally cooked one but have had quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big F'n Dave Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) whats a good fryer?1298515[/snapback] You can use propane, but I'd suggest an electric fryer. Basically, it's just a giant Fry-Daddy. Uses a lot less oil and it's eaiser to regulate the temperature. i assume u use peanut oil from what ive heard?1298515[/snapback] Yeah, peanut oil is the way to go. Less likely to burn and it'll last longer than vegetable oil. how do u prepare it or do u just clean and dunk? 1298515[/snapback] Inject it with a marinade. At my market, I used this (but I bought it in 5-gallon tubs). I'm sure there are other marinades, or you could make your own. Melt a bunch of butter and season it with onion juice, garlic juice, Worcestershire, creole seasoning, hot sauce or whatever. Heat your oil to 350 and fry for about 4 minues per pound. Nothing to it. And it produces absolutely the best turkey you'll ever taste. Edited February 1, 2006 by Big F'n Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I also smoke turkeys, I find I enjoy the taste of a smoked turkey more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Yum yum. I love turkey and now I want to go out and by one of those fryers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiPolarBear Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm estimating here, but I've fried probably three thousand turkeys in my life. 1298389[/snapback] How does one get around to frying 3,000 turkeys? Are you the owner of Big F'n Dave's all you can eat Fried Turkey Buffet? My only tips are to be careful not to spill the oil into the flame when you put the turkey in and to keep the fryer away from your house, your car, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolv Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Got a turkey fryer over Christmas along with injector and cajun marinades - waiting for the temps to warm up before I break it out. Cmon spring - hurry the hell up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Fried Turkey is the best, and if you are not allergic to peanuts, then peanut oil is by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmoore Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 agree with comments above, I would add that the size of the turkey is also a factor. I use a propance fryer and have found that about a 12-13 lb turkey is ideal. Any bigger and you get into issues cooking it all the way thru w/out burning the outside. A bird that size provides a good deal of meat. If you are feeding a lot of people, cook 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
